Mental & Emotional Health

Healthy Minds Logo

Research shows that as many as one in six U.S. children between 6 and 17 has a treatable mental health disorder. Research also found that nearly half of children with these disorders did not receive counseling or treatment. As part of Children’s Wisconsin's vision of having the healthiest kids in the nation, an updated strategy now focuses on a new, broader definition of health – one that includes mental and emotional health, and looks at addressing the mental and emotional health crisis in new and innovative ways.

One of the new and innovative programs is Healthy Minds, a planned continuum of mental and emotional health e-learning courses designed for K-8th grade students. Healthy Minds focuses on mental and emotional health education and raising awareness among students, and provides an engaging look at what makes a healthy mind while introducing the skills needed to help students lead healthy lives. Healthy Minds Kindergarten, Healthy Minds 1st GradeHealthy Minds 3rd GradeHealthy Minds 4th GradeHealthy Minds 5th Grade, and Healthy Minds 6th Grade are now available for you to implement.

Skills Learned

Healthy Minds aligns with National and Wisconsin Health Education Standards, as well as the ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success: K-12 College- and Career-Readiness Standards for Every Student, and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s Social and Emotional Learning Competencies. Using online and offline classroom activities, the courses address such topics as:

  • Recognizing feelings and emotions and learning how to deal with them
  • Empathy and compassion
  • Stress and how to deal with it
  • Healthy relationships
  • Common mental health disorders and concerns
  • How to get help when needed

Easy to Implement

Healthy Minds can be used as a stand-alone mental and emotional health curriculum, or as an innovative supplement to other current curricula.  Pre- and post-tests allow you to track your students’ knowledge and comprehension as they move through the course. Each grade level course includes a comprehensive teacher’s guide that prepares teachers and counselors to use the course in the classroom.
